To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Genesis is talking to me.

The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because Abraham listened to my voice and kept my requirements, my commands, my decrees and my laws. Genesis 26:2-5

What is this passage telling me?

1. God does not want me to go to this world but to live in gods ‘land’ when the road gets hard.

2. When I listen to God, he will be with me, and with my children.

3. All nations are blessed through one person, Abraham, because he listened to his voice and kept his commands.

4. If I listen to God and keep his commands, and try to live a godly life, my children will be able to have the blessings of God through me…. Is that even possible? An amazing gift God gives us.

My inspiration.

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.~~Psalm 118~~~

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~~ Lao-Tzu~~

Seek God now! Seek Him hard! And He will be found by you.If you say you know Jesus, but does He know you?"Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kindgom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." Sometimes we look so intently toward the top of our mountain that we stumble over the steps leading to it. The journey begins just where you are with blessings in every step.At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.-Albert SchweitzerBut they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. {Isaiah 40:31}Be glad for all God is planning for you, Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. {Romans 12:12}

Faith is knowing without seeing, believing without fully understanding, trusting without touching the One who is ever faithful.

No matter what my ears may hear, Or what my eyes may see, There's nothing for me to fear, Lord; You're always here with me.
